Vintage 80s Purple Evening Dress Grecian Drape Torso Beaded Shoulders Jonathan Hitchcock

Exquisite statement dress in an amethyst purple, it pulls on overhead and features rows of Grecian drape across the bloused chest, the sides of the upper arm area, and across the back where the upper section is revealed. Sleeves are long and fitted, over substantial shoulder pads. The the waist is nipped and on an elastic. The midi length skirt falls straight down the thighs in gentle pleating. The drama is all about the shoulders and the upper arms! The fronts and backs of the shoulders are a rich display of beads and rhiiestones in tones of mauve, gold, and silver.
